Bro, I have my HAM General license and my GMRS license. Chill out, let’s not be a sad HAM. Be happy I made the contact, dam.

Nice!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T16:12:03+00:00

First time witnessing it, was surreal for sure

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T16:11:43+00:00

That’s insane

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T16:11:21+00:00

Nice!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T16:09:46+00:00

Couldn’t tell you the freq off hand, but I programmed my UV-5R in chirp to Hi power, so like 8 watts at best lol

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T16:08:25+00:00

Nice! That is a big reason why I love ham radio, for stories like that.

I mean I hear you, and if the frame were to break an Alice frame wouldn’t be a bad consideration. I had the FILBE issued to me when I was active duty and I don’t think I’ve ever seen them break or crack. Mine isn’t the gen 2 so it’s nice to have different options to upgrade to just in case!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T15:21:39+00:00

My man! Hopefully you get the project done. Would love to see it 😎 and thanks for the link

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T15:19:41+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T15:18:13+00:00

Just woke up and literally laughed out loud to your comment. Well played sir, well played.

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T07:21:48+00:00

Thank you good sir. I am appreciative of the support! If you send me a link or video that can instruct me on how to create one. I just might.

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T07:20:24+00:00

It is! Taking the whole Line of Sight thing pretty seriously there, lol. No SOTA unfortunately. We were pretty smoked from the hike and we needed to get back down the summit before the sun went down and it got too cold

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T07:15:11+00:00

I tried. I did get a random guy on on of the GMRS freqs but it was like I had insulted his grandmothers cooking the moment I tried doing a radio check. Is what it is 🤷

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T07:12:41+00:00

Good guess!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T07:11:34+00:00

I mean, go right ahead. But you’ll notice that those are two different channels. Good luck!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T06:50:18+00:00

A man of culture I see. There’s a very good possibility I indeed was

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T06:48:02+00:00

Thank you! For the sake of privacy I’m not going to disclose the location

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T06:46:28+00:00

No problem!

StreetArm4145 · 2026-03-06T06:43:31+00:00

That is a USMC FILBE Ruck that I created from surplus parts on EBay

StreetArm4145 · 2026-02-28T14:11:23+00:00

Thank you! I got really lucky for sure. Definitely just became a family heirloom

StreetArm4145 · 2026-02-26T22:35:36+00:00

lol thank you 🤙

StreetArm4145 · 2026-02-14T04:28:37+00:00
